Confusion trails alleged kidnap of 172 Kaduna church worshippers

Confusion has trailed reports that 172 worshippers were kidnapped by terrorists during Sunday services at three churches in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State. While church leaders insist that scores of members were abducted, the police and the local council chairman say no mass kidnapping took place.​ Christian leaders in the area, including officials of the Christian Association of Nigeria, say armed men attacked Cherubim and Seraphim churches in the Kurmin Wali area and took worshippers into the bush. Northern CAN leaders have put the figure of abducted Christians at 163, saying nine of the 172 people initially seized later escaped.​ However, Kaduna State Government and the Police Command have dismissed the reports as false and misleading. Police Commissioner Muhammad Rabiu described the story as mere falsehood pushed by conflict entrepreneurs, and challenged anyone claiming people were kidnapped to […]

US never targeted me in Sokoto airstrikes, says Gumi

Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that he was targeted by the United States during recent joint Nigeria US airstrikes on terrorist camps in Sokoto State. He described the claims as fake news, explaining that people had misinterpreted an old video in which he spoke about threats to his life more than a decade ago.​ Gumi said the viral clip being shared online referred to an incident in August 2012, when he was allegedly marked for assassination by Boko Haram near his residence. According to him, two suspected attackers died after the explosive device they were carrying reportedly detonated before they could reach him, and the episode had nothing to do with the latest air operations in Sokoto.​ In a statement posted on his official social media page, the cleric insisted he never suggested that US […]

Jimoh Ibrahim: modern sovereignty rests on cooperation, not isolation

Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, who represents Ondo South and is a scholar of modern war studies, says no country today enjoys absolute sovereignty and that contemporary security threats demand collaboration and multilateral engagement. In a statement issued in Igbotako, Ondo State, he defended President Bola Tinubu’s reliance on international partnerships to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity as consistent with global democratic practice.​ Ibrahim cited the United States’ response to the September 11, 2001 attacks to argue that even the world’s most powerful states depend on allies. He recalled that Operation Enduring Freedom involved extensive support from countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and New Zealand through troops, aircraft, naval assets and intelligence sharing.​ He said transnational threats like terrorism, cybercrime and pandemics are borderless and cannot be contained by one nation acting alone.
